One of my volumes was doing this. As someone mentioned earlier, check your kernel log to see if you have a disk error. On mine, I had no errors. The activity led for that volume would be on solid until the mkdir completed. My fix was to create a new directory and move everything over and remove the old directory. Obviously this won't work if you're having problems with more than 1 directory or the offending directory is the root of the volume.
Just for information, this volume I have is on a single disk created on the whole disk (no lvm nor partition).
